Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Broken Cryptography: User passwords were vulnerability stored in plaintext during registration instead of being securely hashed. This exposes user credentials immediately upon any database read access or compromise.
Auth Bypass: Articles and comments could be deleted without ownership authorization checks, allowing unprivileged users to destroy arbitrary resources. This was mitigated by adding form request authorization logic.
Information Disclosure: Raw exception messages (such as database QueryException structures) were exposed globally via the exception handler in production environments, potentially revealing internal schema designs and SQL structures.
